Outrageously padded shoulders are a good look for him.

Using these "goons" in front of so many police dogs and officers, and also in front of the cameras, he made this wedding to look arranged or forced (after all, he's using this wedding as publicity of his plans).
Yeh, I think that was going off the rails a bit.
P.S.: Who's the patrician?
A cross between David Xanatos, Cesare Borgia, and Niccolo Machiavelli. He also likes dogs.

But I don't actually see an actual Discworld reference in the strip itself. It seems a little overt for Havelock Vetinari.

A few years ago, Rick was looking for something to read and I pushed him toward the "Sam Vimes" novels. I don't recall whether he'd read any Discworld books prior to then, but if not, you're welcome.

(That assumes you were distracted in a positive way by this reference.)

Hey Keene, can I borrow some of your goon squad? There's a bully at school I want to teach a lesson to. When I'm done with him, he'll know how to make the perfect grilled cheese. :D

They were created and compiled by Frooxius. You can get them from this thread.
Some of us uploaded the emoticons to image hosting sites. Render uploaded them into a photobucket album.

Good, because last-second objections are like... the biggest wedding cliche ever.

I've seriously been thinking about this, too. I don't know exactly what King being married does to help Pete's plan apart from making him want to stay as a dog, but maybe that's enough for it to be the focal point.

Great comic. Love this arc.

Also, considering one of the Patrician's catchphrases is "Don't let me detain you", Keene's only slightly less subtle. Although "Dark Clerks" is a lot scarier in my opinion than "Goon Squad".

Not at all, "don't let me detain you" is a fairly common term with absolutely nothing creepy about it if it's not used by an absolute tyrant...

I'm with Hlaoroo. She doesn't look like a raccoon at all to me, and the "mask" is actually lighter than her normal fur.

Don't get me wrong, she looks like a wolf to me too, but I can also see the thinking process of the wolf/coon ;)

I wonder if that's actually make-up. Anyway, yeah I agree that the 'mask' kinda looks raccoon-ish.

That is really cool of Keene to do, granted that is very scary. I wonder if that's why he's the preacher rather than pay an actual one to do it for them. I mean he certainly has the money for it I'm sure.

I think there is going to be a plot twist very soon but not in this arc. I think this arc is going to end on July 4. Also I think if there is going to be a twist it is going to not be in public. Pete dose not want to be know. Or dose he :shock:
